What time are the price changes?

In all seriousness, I've been playing fpl for so long and one thing I wanted to do in gw38 was to get there with at least 2 FT's. I finally managed to do it this season.
Boy did it pay off with MGW and Fleming

Horrible season once again. Don't have the strength to check my rank. Going to be in a very dark place all summer now. Zero benefit from my scout membership year after year. Major reform needed on this website.

Leagues taking a while to update

Well done, chaps, another season down. Around 100k in the end, it's the new 10k anyway

Pretty happy overall:

GW38: 69 points
Total: 2346 points
OR: 59k (was 400k just over a month ago)
ML league and cup double
Happy days 🙂

Haven't been so active down below in the last few months due to life, but thanks for the laughs and insights across the season.

Personally had my worst effort since I stopped being a filthy casual, and it's not even close. In fact I've had better seasons back when I didn't have a smartphone, frequently missed deadlines and didn't know you could take -4s. It's been that bad.

Season summed up by GW38 decisions to go for Marmoush over literally anyone and Richy over Bowen. But the important thing is the friends we made along the way.

Anyone done any reflective or analytical work on their FPL season? If so, what was your biggest learning?
Morgan Rogers sunk my season I feel.

1. What went well?
2. What did not go to plan?
3. How can you improve?

Cheers mate. I’ll send you a DM later today on the other side.

Where will Bowen end up next season?

I’m not sure if anybody else saw it but the look of fear, panic and desperation on FPL_Harry’s face as the deadline came and went like a freight train far outweighed the importance and relevance of this silly game.

Top 50k in India, lets go...

Anyone know the owner of the Old Havertz Kai Hard league? Just realized i somehow won the cup, but forgot what it was lol
20person league.

My first time playing FPL in many years. Finished 229k - a modest rank compared to many on here - but my highest of the season and won my mini league so a good way to end. Enjoyed the FFS articles, podcasts, and discussions along the way. I will be back next season!

Such lovely weather out there today.

Have a good day everyone!

I realise it's nonsense but I feel I have wasted my whole season with one transfer. I started the day yesterday ranked 150k and genuinely didnt think it would be possible to break the top 100k, so I went with the more 'fun' option of hinchelwood compared to Mavropanos. Had I picked the w ham defender I'd have a 5 digit rank this morning and would be buzzing. finished 109k. rather gutted. Anyway thanks to everyone for your help this season and hopefully I haven't given too much bad advice 🙂 see you...

Grim final two weeks after a decent wildcard and BB33. Dropped another 150k this week mainly due to Richarlison(c) vs Haaland cappers with Bruno vice. Had 3 active subs with 10 from Tavernier but still only hit 39! If I'd have gone Bowen or Taty I'd have been absolutely fine. Gutter!

Can't believe the stunning London stadium will be an arena for the EFL. All that capacity with empty seats come season. Going to be a long summer for West ham. If only Manchester utd / Arsenal / Spurs went down. It would have been better in my opinion.

I won my mini league due to Hill getting defcon in the update, I ended up drawing with the previous top place but I got top due to less transfers!

Words can't explain how messy this season was. Almost as if PL got boring over time. FPL is so stressful & complicated now, it is easy to lose interest.

Enjoy the summer! World Cup fantasy is another opportunity if you ain't tired yet.

What was the goal of defcon?

I think this game is at its best when there is a wide array of price options so we can tinker with different structures and strategies. As long as the players are priced what they're worth, the amount of points they score isn't so important.

Pre-defcon, some people would rotate a group of three 4.0m defenders over one slot, another played a 433 with two 4.5m DMs and four strong defenders. That structural variation was great.

Now with CBs scoring the same as WBs, and DMs scoring as much as wingers, all it's done is converge the prices of players and reduce variation.

Scored a 104 points fewer than last season, yet 124k better OR this season. I haven't the mental capacity to work out why tbh.

Went through my GW history.

My best GWs without playing a chip was a few 600k game week ranks. Basically 0 high variance GWs over the entire season. On the other end of the spectrum I had 9 (!) GWs that were GW rank 7m or worse, with 4 of those being 10m+...Actually amazing that Im top 500k when I look at how bad the average game week has been. Just every game week is GW rank 2m or worse. I took a few captain punts last few GWs instead of Bruno F knowing the work ML leader would cap him and would have been 330k if I capped him but chasing in that particular ML was all I had to play for at that point.

Had so much crap going against me. Ive had 9 penalty misses this season (including captain) among other things.

Took just 1 hit over the season until the last GW where I took a -12 to field an 11 which I feel is perfectly justified (ended up losing 1 point because Marmoush didnt play) so Ive been playing very solid and picking good long term players all season long but just nothing came off this year.

The one thing I can admit that I got wrong was the importance of def con. I didnt have enough def con defenders in my team in the first half of the season, sitting with the likes of Timber for ages while Senesi was racking up 8+ pointers each game. Unless they change def con or the price of def con merchants massively I cant see much reason not to go 4ATB with consistent def con players like Senesi/Truffert, Tarkowski, Gabriel (ofc), etc.

How would yall sum up your season? Any main takeaways for the next one?

Won my ML and tapped out at 65K.

Botched my transfers on deadline costing me another 10 points to end the season on. Hey ho.

It's felt like a weird season, Imagine most went my way but feels like alot didn't.

A bit disappointed I dropped about of the top1k in the last few weeks but still a decent or 1139. ML won comfortably and nearly a 1000€ that comes with it.
Have a nice summer ya’ll!

2023/24- 46k
2024/25- 128k
2025/26- 32k

Every year I try to target top 25k and every year I fail..this game is soo hard

The fishing on here....

When will we get the verdict on all of those charges?

A slice of humble pie for me this season, my top20k run is over. Never recovered after selling Thiago for his hattrick against Everton and then brace against Sunderland the week after. Was 100k overall before that and that was GW19

Hopefully the World Cup will be fantastic and looking forward to seeing most of you all again in July 🙂

Removing Semenyo for Cherki before DGW36 season defining stuff.
Semenyo GW 30-35: All blanks, early subs in gw 34 and 35.
Cherki 31-35: 7ppg, all starts, looks like peps most important attacker.
Gw 36-38, cherki got 0 starts and got outscored 19-7 by semenyo. Had to remove him gw38 as well. Add the transfer costs of bringing him in and out as I had to take hits last gw to field a full 11 and that one swap cost 21 points.

Just one example of logical decisions being punished to ridiculous degrees this season.
